Portion sizing done Cheap, Right and EASY!!

     Here is a real devil of a post. Portion Sizes. Most of the time people try to be healthy by eating the right things, but too much of a good thing can be bad...unless its ice cream right? Because we all know that if no one sees me eat the entire container of mint chocolate chip ice cream at 3 am then it doesn't count...right? OF COURSE NOT.  According to Casey Neistat, a popular film producer,

"If New Yorkers reduced portion size to 16 ounces from 20 ounces for one sugary drink every two weeks, it would collectively save approximately 2.3 million pounds over one year."
 

That is outrageous. Just reducing the amount of soda intake could change so much. But the key here is that he never says, "if New Yorkers STOPPED drinking soda..." We do not have to cut out everything good and wonderful just because it is unhealthy. We just need to manage our portions and do it in Moderation.

   That is easier said than done of course. When your kitchen drawer of containers looks like this...

And you are sick and tired of using and REWASHING these...

 

 

 

It is time for a MAJOR upgrade. Lets be honest, I hate measuring stuff. H-A-T-E  I-T!! With a burning passion. It makes more dishes than you even have dish liquid for and it increases meal prep times, Especially for on the go meals and lunches. When you are in a hurry out the door and pack a lunch everyday, this whole Portion Sizes thing just doesn't fit with your schedule or your level of patience. But there is a light at the end of the tunnel....

 

 LunchBlox!

 

 

    Lunch Blox is a system of containers that are premeasured to help you organize your meal. I am sure you have all heard of the 21 Day Fix, but you have to pay for that. Why would you pay money just for someone to give you the "secret" to portion sizes. They aren't a secret!! for $7 you can get one of these lunch blox systems.  The picture I have above you see the lunch system ($7), the snack container ($4) and a 32 oz. water infuser ($8). These were all purchased at Walmart, no hassle, no shipping or expensive memberships. And they have a simple explanation of how to use them too!

There are so many different ways to use these, and seeing how over 80% of Americans eat their lunch in an office or cubical and all moms could use a quick fix for their child's lunch, they are so great and easy to use. They are a life saver.
